The problem is not a lack of skill, but a lack of time to invest (aside from your own lack of skill)
The people that know how to solve the problem simply don't have the time to invest into it.
And lack of skill is also just an excuse for not wanting to invest the time to learn them.
So if you don't want to invest that time, then you have no right to demand this from anyone else.

That's your personal opinion, and that's okay. What does one need as a mod? A lot of time, a great deal of knowledge about the game, and a respectful, neutral, and objective approach. Do I have all of that?

Then do me a favor and just take a look at any random forum thread discussing criticism of FAF . Afterward, reconsider your statement.

That was certainly an exaggeration but not far from reality.
The problem is not a lack of skill, but a lack of time to invest (aside from your own lack of skill)

And lack of skill is also just an excuse for not wanting to invest the time to learn them.
So if you don't want to invest that time, then you have no right to demand this from anyone else.
I won't casually learn all aspects of IT just to solve a specific and highly granular issue. as you mentioned, the admins claim to know what to do, but their precious time prevents them from investing that time in their own project and the community. Okay, fair enough. Do what you want with your time. But then step aside and say that you don't have time for us. an admin who invests more time in constantly giving us long-winded statements instead of addressing the problem? And again, this is about a core issue, not the design."
Considering that the quality has been in the gutter for about a year, and playing is hardly possible, you can be sure that everyone now knows that you either don't care anymore or you're trying to divert attention from your lack of knowledge and helplessness. The Russian has exposed you.
@spikeynoob said in Connection issues never been this bad:
Proof that faf is broken. If only the devs could solve the real problem instead of this ddos thing.
Wow. So this is what moderators look like these days. I wish for the old team to be back with each passing day

Given your response to the ddos attack, it is evident that you are neither knowledgeable nor respectful. Hope this helps!
@hoschmosch said in Connection issues never been this bad:

From my perspective that's far from the truth. There's multiple people with sysadmin experience investing enough time into FAF for it to be a part-time job, all for free. FAF's infrastructure is non-trivial and takes much more effort to maintain and develop than say, a Minecraft or CS server, even without a few vindictive people hammering its services.
To give an exaggerated example, doomsaying of your sort is about as reasonable as saying that people running the economy are idiots and if they just printed and gave everyone a ton of money then everyone would be rich. It just doesn't work that way.
I can only imagine this guy is one of those people that think fixing software issues is as simple as
TurnDDoSProtectionOn = True

Yes, it helps, but not in the way you might imagine
In the first place, it is evidence that I don't care as little as those who could solve it. In the second place, you seem to have trouble understanding the meaning of your words. I was respectful by not addressing anyone personally. I haven't downvoted your posts either. I also haven't attempted a second-class joke at your expense, like your... let's say, feeble attempt just now.
And that I have no detailed knowledge of IT matters, I have mentioned myself a long time ago.

I literally read all forum posts every day, so I don't need to reconsider, thanks.
If someone states things aren't working and are understanding and don't flame the mods/admins for not doing anything about it, then they have been met with respect, though it is sometimes hard to keep that up, when people are unable to read the message right above their own question in discord, which would have answered their question. But it is also disrespectful to not want to put in any amount of effort and then expect to get 5 pages of answers.
@hoschmosch said in Connection issues never been this bad:

They know what to do and they are investing time, you probably just underestimate of how much time it takes to fix these issues. Also people that want to help out for just this issue aren't such a great help either, since learning how the system works will take a good amount of time (also from the existing admins), so quickly helping out is also not a feasible option. (when you start out as a sysadmin and you only intend to keep the job for ~6 month, nobody will bother with telling you anything and will just tell you to sort some cables)
@hoschmosch said in Connection issues never been this bad:

However everyone is damanding long winded statements from the admins themselves. Everyone is asking what's going on, why it's not working and how long it takes and when a moderator without the technical know-how answers they are unsatisfied.
@hoschmosch said in Connection issues never been this bad:

How do you come to this view?
I see people play every day and aside from the ddos attacks it was pretty stable
ofc there are disconnection problems (as brutus mentioned above), but those take time to fix, since it requires completely rewriting the ice adapter.
@hoschmosch said in Connection issues never been this bad:

You do realize that brutus (the guy with the skills) is not participating in this discussion?
He cares and is working on it, while you are trying to make his work look bad and useless in some random effort to get him to give up on the project, since apparently you don't give a single fuck about FAF and want it to close down for good. (at least it seems that way from how you tell every admin to quit, since they are doing a terrible job).
How you can believe that you care more than him is beyond me.

You're right, I'm sorry. I underestimated how important you are. It's far more noble to attack one of the few people keeping this thing alive so you have a game to play at all. Keeping FAF running is easy, playing Gap all day is the true challenge.

i am as important as you
if only you knew the context and frame in which u actually said that, you would quickly delete the post. All of this is based on the idea of making an old game available online again, nothing else. This is not an admin competition, not a programming competition, or anything like that. It's really just about being able to play the game. and mostly its not anymore.
